Are you looking into running a puppet server or puppet client on
OpenBSD? For the server, the requirements are many, and even if it's
possible, it can be a bit hard to get everything right. As for the
puppet client, it works as intended.
Unless you are aiming for bare-metal (with foreman or something similar)
and if you are open to suggestions I'd say try ansible. I'm using it on
some 30+ OpenBSD servers which works great. It's really easy to learn.
Both package managment and sysctl configuration is of high quality as
well as templates with jinja2-syntax.
But as always, use what works best for you. Maybe if you explain more
about what parts of the OpenBSD system you want to automate the list can
help you with some suitable automation options.

Hi All,
Looks like there is no comprehensive guide/howto in the Net for $subj...
Googling gives some discussions and presentations regarding running
puppet server on OpenBSD, which is not so interesting. My task is to
automate provisioning of bunch of OpenBSD servers across several LANs
and puppet would be a good helper here (OK, maybe Saltstack could be an
alternative solution, but there is even less info about such a
combination out there).
Thanx in advance,
Kirill
